Bug 110651 – p7zip 4.27 must be purged from portage and replaced with p7zip 4.29

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Canal Vorfeed 2005-10-27 15:13:05 UTC]

Changelog for p7zip 4.29:
- Bug was fixed: 7-Zip 4.27 beta created incorrect multivolume archives.
- "Duplicate filename" collision problem between names with ligatures was fixed.

I was biten by the bug but luckily I tried to do "7z t" before I've deleted files.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:




IMO loss of data is pretty serious issue for archiver: what if you are doing
backup or something ? You'll find your backups are useless when it'll be too late!

P.S. Archive was called p7zip_4.27_src.tar.bz2 in p7zip 4.27, it's now called
Download p7zip_4.29_src_all.tar.bz2 so one line must be changed in ebuild:

4.27 isn't marked stable, so it's not a big issue.
